Following their recent appearance at the FIBA U-17 Basketball World Cup, the Gilas Pilipinas youth team is now scouting for new talent overseas to sustain the program’s momentum.
Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas officials, including executive director Erika Dy and talent identification head coach Norman Black, are currently at the SBP Las Vegas Showcase.
Dy is engaging with Filipino-American communities to explore dual citizenship options for potential recruits.
Head coach Tim Cone emphasized the need for larger players to strengthen the team, reflecting on the recent World Cup where the squad struggled due to a lack of size.
The youth team is now in Malaysia to defend their title in the FIBA Asia Cup SEABA Qualifiers.
